Najchevska demands special inquiry and legal steps under Article 407‑a against several officials
The professor accused the Public Prosecutor's Office of inaction and named ministers, MPs and mayors while calling for a special parliamentary commission.
Professor Najchevska sharply criticized the Public Prosecutor's Office on social media on September 19, 2026, accusing the institution of failing to act and calling for legal steps under article 407‑a of the Criminal Code against several public officials. She also asked the Assembly of North Macedonia to convene a special inquiry commission to examine alleged support for people convicted of war crimes.
In her post Najchevska singled out Foreign Minister Timcho Mucunski, Skopje Mayor Orce Gjorgjievski and Kavadarci Mayor Mitko Yanchev, saying they should face proceedings "for promoting and supporting the State of Israel." She added in a direct comment about that state: "A state led by a person against whom the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant on charges of war crimes and genocide."
Najchevska's second point targeted Minister of Local Self‑Government Ivan Stoiljkovic, whom she accused of "supporting and promoting Ratko Mladic," the Bosnian Serb general convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
In a third passage she named Assembly Speaker Afrim Gashi, MPs Arben Taravari and Ali Ahmeti, and Chair municipality mayor Izet Mejiti, alleging they must be held accountable for "support and promotion of Hashim Thaci and his collaborators convicted for war crimes by the Hague court."
Najchevska also demanded that Parliament establish a special investigative commission and wrote: "At least one MP in the Assembly of North Macedonia should be found to convene a special inquiry commission regarding all these officials." She concluded by noting, in another brief remark, that "apparently there is no such [MP]."
The post prompted reactions in public debate, in part because it explicitly invoked possible institutional action under article 407‑a of the Criminal Code. Najchevska's call focuses attention on high‑profile politicians and local officials and places pressure on judicial and parliamentary bodies to state whether they will open formal proceedings.
